Ingredients

  • 2 poblano peppers
  • 2 Anaheim peppers
  • 2 jalapenos
  • 6 tomatillos (husks removed)
  • 1 white onion (peeled and quartered)
  • 3 garlic cloves (finely chopped)
  • 2 lb pork shoulder (trimmed and cubed)
  • 2 1/2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 3/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 bunch cilantro (bulk of stems removed)

Instructions 

  • Start by roasting your veggies. Preheat oven to 450F. While the oven is pre-heating, place all of the peppers, tomatillos, garlic, and onion onto a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven and let the veggies roast for 20-25 minutes or until the veggies start to become charred on to. Be careful to not let them overcook. Once charred, pull the veggies out of the oven and let them cool.
  • Once the veggies have cooled down, place them into a blender and add the cilantro. Pulse the blender until the veggies are broken down into a salsa that reaches your desired thickness. If the salsa is too thick to blend properly, add chicken broth a ¼ cup at a time to the blender while pulsing.
  • Place the pork shoulder on a baking sheet and coat evenly with the flour. Once coated, place a large skillet on the stove, add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan and set to medium high heat. Once the pan and oil are hot, carefully place your flour coated pork in the pan and begin to brown on all sides. You do NOT need to cook through. If all the pork is too much to fit in the pan, you may need to cook the pork in batches.
  • Once your veggies are roasted and meat browned, add all ingredients into the slow cooker and stir to evenly combine. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time. Serve over tortillas with your favorite toppings!
